Stop lights from FLICKERING in your VIDEOS

[@wanderingambience799]

Mate you are a genius! Thank you!! All my tutorials didn't solve the issue because I was watching North American videos. I am in Australia and the bloody flicker in my videos was horrendous! It is fixed now. I went from 23.98 fps to 25 and all fixed!

[@thomasfransson]

Great to hear that it helped, rock on!

[@wearealfas]

So well explained! Thank you!

[@thomasfransson]

Thank you

I definitely get what you're saying but what about the flickering in the film on a wall when videoing from a iPhone

[@thomasfransson]

Unless you’re using a 3rd party camera app all smartphones to my knowledge shoots in 30fps which is ntsc. Unless you bump it up to 60fps and so on, but that's still ntsc. Just like with lights, displays, monitors, tv's and projectors have a frequency that needs to be matched to avoid flicker. Then there's cheap poorly designed light sources that will flicker no matter what.

Quick question: when filming the firework I have the same flickering problem. I was shooting in 4k100p, 1/200. when the firework explode, half of my frame is lighted up while the other half is remaining darker, there is a very clear and sharp dividing line. what can I do to solve that?

[@thomasfransson]

That is weird, since fireworks emit a "constant light" instead of pulsing like artificial light. Maybe it's more of a problem similar to hss in photography?

[@KevinMullarkey]

I shoot in PAL 4K/Hd 50fps and 180deg shutter all the time and i get flicker in BOTH Europe AND USA in some indoor environmnets so I assume it's down to the type of lighting? Any ideas?

[@thomasfransson]

Bad led lights can definitely create flicker issues beyond what you're able to correct for with shutter speed. Unless you have a camera that allows you to adjust the shutter in smaller fractions. Some areas in Copenhagen springs to mind where the window lights flickered at 50hz and the street lights in some weird frequency. I was unable to find a shutter speed that worked with both. But for the most part that 1/100 shutter should work fine in Europe.

How to set pal mode on Android phone i live Asia and inay having light flickering problem do can you tell me how do i solve it on android phone (realme)?

[@thomasfransson]

I know, it's weird how smartphone manufacturers completely disregard this. You can get around it by using a third-party camera app like black magic.

[@RoySonam-k4u]

@@thomasfransson will it be safe? It will not effect my phone or settings in any way please tell me ?

[@thomasfransson]

Then you'll have to try another app, sorry but I don't use my phone that much for video. I used Filmic pro a long time ago and that allowed shutter control from what I recall.

[@kokhualow3419]

Hi I guess you live in Asia or somewhere else. May I know for the video system, do you set you video to PAL or NTSC? For me living in Asia, I set my frame rate to 1/50s but I leave my video at NTSC as it is the most widely accepted video mode.

[@thomasfransson]

I live in PAL region. If I shoot client work I typically shoot in PAL, same if I'm shooting in public areas with artificial lights that I can't control. For personal projects I sometimes do what you do. Ntsc frame rate and PAL shutter speed. I wouldn't say Ntsc is the most accepted or used. But a lot of Filmmaking and video related content is coming out of north america which is ntsc and not PAL like the rest of the world ;)

[@billwdwc]

Great video

[@thomasfransson]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@imaginehimalayas5348]

Great sir!

[@thomasfransson]

Thank you for stopping by

[@marcinrogalski5847]

So is the solution for video world-wide publishing? I watch American vlogers without problems in Europe.

[@thomasfransson]

Yep, this will solve the issue. Knowing what grid frequency is used and adjusting your frame rate and/or shutter speed correctly.

[@SwankGuide]
